Chapter 060 True Iron Stick
Zhang Bingbing No. 4: "I was also robbed. The other party held a stick and tried to grab the things in my hand. I put down the things and ran away. Next time if anyone goes out, please call me. The express bus is too late in the morning, so I usually ride my bike at night."
Wang Xuemei #2: "Next time I call you, we'll go by bike. I don't know when this will ever end. Ever since the frozen food in the fridge ran out, the dried mushrooms I bought earlier are gone, and the snacks are gone too. Every day I can only eat white rice or the corn porridge we were given out. I hope the Dark Day will end soon [blessings]."
Fat Girl No. 25: "Tighten your belt and wait for the artificial sun, everything will be fine! But does anyone have the scalper's phone number? I also want to buy something, I really can't stand it anymore!"
Jingshu's memories were evoked. At this time in her previous life, Jingshu's mother was still working hard and working overtime. Because Yu Caini was promoted to deputy director, her previous position became vacant. Jingshu's mother and Tian Qing competed for the position, but both ended in failure. Soon after, she was completely depressed and exhausted due to heatstroke. In the end, she didn't even get into the system.
She was still ignorant and went to the supermarket with Jing's father every day, holding a steel pipe to queue up to buy food. She was afraid that her own food would run out and that the food she bought would be robbed. Like them, she hoped that the dark days would end soon and that someone would save them. She placed all her hopes elsewhere.
Jingshu finally realized that people still have to rely on themselves.
It was like checking the time. After learning that everyone had finished eating the food in the refrigerator, the power supply hours were shortened again, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
Everyone has to complete all their home appliance needs within these two hours: charge power banks, mobile phones, flashlights, cook a day's worth of rice in a rice cooker, boil water, turn on the lights for at least an hour (news reminds people that they need to replenish light every day, and the candles are already used up), and watch the news broadcast to get the latest news.
Of course, excluding some local tyrants, the owners of U solar power generation, it is said that the price has now risen to millions of yuan per set, and only the really rich people can get it, and the owners are less than 0.000%.
We also have to exclude some powerful people, whose electricity is generally uninterrupted. Rules are always the means of those at the top and are applicable everywhere. But then again, those who have truly made enough contributions have the right to enjoy special treatment.
For example, he was able to lead the last hundreds of millions of people to survive in the most difficult times. Although one-third of the people were killed because of the decision, as a survivor, Jingshu felt that it was really amazing that he could let two-thirds of the people survive in that environment. Several foreign countries were destroyed.
A very popular saying after the end of the world: If you have money, you have the right to have uninterrupted electricity, and if you have nothing, you rely on public transportation; if you have money, you can eat dry goods, you have the right to eat vegetables, and if you have everything, you don’t eat insects; if you have money, you have the right to drink purified water, you have the right to drink mineral water, and if you have nothing, you drink rainwater.
So what's the point of having everything like Jingshu? Just thinking about it makes me feel satisfied...
As for turning on the air conditioner, there was no need for that anymore, because the temperature started to drop rapidly at 5:30 pm. Four months after the apocalypse, one of the guarantees for people to survive in high temperatures was adequate water intake.
But now the water truck supply has been adjusted to the rules, delivering water once a day. Based on the number of people, each person only gets 1.5 liters. In this hot weather and sweating easily, 1.5 liters is not enough. It is best for adults to maintain a daily intake of 2 liters.
The most imperceptible change is the boiling frog-like change. In the first month of the apocalypse, each person received one bucket of water, which was then reduced to two buckets per family, and then to one bucket per family. After three months, it has become 1.5 liters per person today. Although it is difficult for the people to accept, they dare not say a word when they see the armed police with shields and guns.
"Just delivering water? Is it necessary to send armed police?"
In other words, we can only complain from afar. The armed escort of water is enough to show how water-scarce the entire country is now. Freshwater lakes have turned green and smelly due to the decaying corpses of organisms, and the soil and high temperatures have caused the rivers to dry up. There is no time to take remedial measures, and there is still no rain.
Scientists from the Science Channel have reached a consensus this time that high temperatures will inevitably cause sea levels to rise, and the result of rising sea levels will be floods, heavy rains, etc. One-third of the world's land will be submerged, and island nations may even be destroyed!
"Sooner or later
"It's raining, and flooding is even predicted in many areas. We must be prepared in advance! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous." Scientists say everyone was very nervous during the first month.
But after four months of talking, I've become numb to it. "Please hurry up and let it rain. Even a flood would be good. It's better than this scorching heat and dryness!"
But there was still no rain and no flooding. The island nation of Japan had been preparing for being flooded for three months, but still not a drop of water had fallen.
Perhaps only Jingshu knew that when everyone let down their guard, these prophecies came true in the second year of the apocalypse. It was not that it would not break out, but it was just accumulating strength to be ready to break out. It would come suddenly and flood several countries and submerge one-third of China. It was really a year with countless casualties.
Jingshu shook her head. With what happened every day, her distant memories would always be brought back. After eating ten scallion egg pancakes, two bowls of double-skin milk, and a large pot of tomato and egg dumpling soup, Jingshu put on a helmet, took a pure iron rod, and went to send Jingma to work.
Yes, it's a real iron rod. Some people may not understand the weight of iron, so Jingshu will explain: one cubic meter of iron weighs 7.8 tons, so this one-meter-long solid iron rod weighs 39 kilograms.
Jingshu can now lift it up easily and swing it back and forth dozens of times without any problem. If anyone dares to come over, breaking his bones is no problem, and one blow is guaranteed to be fatal.
Also brought along were two boxes of soil from the villa. Jing's mother's competition was approaching, and Jingshu decided to cheat for her so that she could squeeze Yu Cai Ni out.
"Why do you insist on going, kid? It's so dangerous outside, why don't you stay at home?" Jing's mother smeared some dirt on her face, and Jingshu followed suit. It was true that their skin became better and better after drinking the spiritual spring, while the skin of people who were not exposed to the sun was mostly waxy and dark, and theirs stood out a little.
After the end of the world, people who have not been exposed to sunlight for a long time will lack more and more nutrients and become thinner and older. In her previous life, Jing's mother looked like she was seventy years old, but in this life, she is as beautiful as a thirty-year-old woman with a radiant face.
Jingshu looked more and more like a girl, so much so that she bought a lot of cosmetics and facial oils, but none of them seemed to be used anymore.
Jing Shu dropped the iron rod with a clang. "Look at my strength now! If anyone dares to be so foolish, I'll beat him up! My dad was called away by my uncle and there's no one to take you there. I'm worried about you being alone, so I'm going to check out what's going on in that weird unit of yours."
